Hey friends!

I went ahead and cut the undergrowth that was not going to make it to the top of the canopy. Today is day 47 and 42, for those of you keeping track at home. Things are still looking ok so far, no signs or burning, deficiencies or stress. We'll hope it stays that way. I bought some bamboo stakes today to use for support if needed.

What up guys, it's day 48 and 43 if there's anyone out there keeping up.... I'm still here El Guapo!
You there... alright!
None of the plants seem the stressing quite yet after cutting off the majority of the bottom growth (knock on wood). I actually had cut a decent amount off about a week ago when I originally started this thread. I took some pics with the LED off for you guys to check out.
Now what did I do with some of those cuttings again............. Oh yeah, CLONES!!

Hey guys!

Got an update for all of you out there who have been anxiously waiting. Things still seem to be going good over all but in doing some research it seems that my plants were stunted sometime during this grow. I don't think they were stunted so much as far as height goes, but more in the flowing process. Today marks day 50 and 45 and my flower development seems to look more like other people's autos on day 35 and 30. But they all look healthy seem to be progressing. I'm estimating that they are probably a good 2 weeks behind and will probably finish on day 75 or 85 rather than day 60 to 70.

Also, (not pictured) I accidentally broke the top of one of the mystery ShortStuff stains when plugging back in my LED after taking pictures. DOH! I didn't totally break it off, it just kind of snapped to a 90 degree angle, much like super cropping. I got some tape and straightened her back up. I hope she recovers ok...

when they fully flower u are gunna run into some serious issues one being they are gunna such each other dry never put more then one plant in a pot only systems u can do that with as they will be getting a direct feed u might be lucky and one of many issues that may happen like not flower right the space not reaching yeild as u have about 7 plants competing for 1 feed so all i can really say is good luck and if u pull a good yeild i will be impressed but i have seen many of people try this and fail

Thanks for the wish of luck @rob333! I don't usually do my grows like this but I'm gonna do my best here and see if I can pull off a decent yield.

Hey friends!

Just wanted to give an update here. This still seems to be coming along slowly but surely. There has been a lot of bud development in the past few days with some of the plants. A little bit of stretching from a couple of them as well. Today is day 54 and 49, but from the stunting that seems to have happened to them likely from the growing conditions and cutting the growth under the canopy, the seem to be closer to day 40 and 35. But they look healthy!

Hey guys!

Checking this Wednesday evening. Things are still coming along prety nicely. Have not noticed any signs of nutrient deficiencies yet. but I've also noticed that my buds are not as big as my past grows where each plant was in it's own pot. But I'll chalk that up to my circumstances a couple months ago and the idiocy of putting 7 plants in one pot. Anyhow, today is day 57 and 52, but going off of my stunted estimate, these plants are more at the maturity of day 43 and day 38.

I got some pics, let me know what you guys think.

Yea, buds do look stunted, but oh well... It's still more bud than most people could use in a year..
I have a mango ryder going and the buds aren't looking all that great. I am thinking to myself, "DO I really want to trim this" :)

doesn't look stunted to me, as long as they get to finish up (the old if they look ready, give em another week or two) then you'll be quite happy with the results. If they started late no big deal, just be patient.
they look healthy

What up RIU!

Friday night update here. Girls are looking good and healthy. They are definitely behind for a usual grow being that today is day 59 and 54 for these autos. They were supposed to be ready to harvest in the week to week and a half, but it will definitely take these longer to finish. Going off of my stunted estimate of them being 2 weeks behind, the seem pretty on track to be about day 45 for the first 4 and day 40 for the other 3.

I'm gonna continue to ride this one out until they look done, no matter how many days it takes. But I would really like to be smoking these buds before the end of June.
